NEW YORK - Chrysler LLC said Friday it is preparing to reveal some of its future plans to its dealers next week, and one dealer said they’ll get a look at the next-generation electric vehicles the automaker is developing.

Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep dealers across the country will get “insight into our business strategies” Tuesday via videoconference at about 100 movie theaters across the nation, Chrysler spokesman Stuart Schorr said.

Although Schorr declined to reveal the contents of the presentation, Alan Helfman, vice president of River Oaks Chrysler Jeep in Houston, said Chrysler told him the event will show off the plug-in electric cars that the automaker has been working on.

“This new generation of cars, from what I’ve been hearing, are the next generation of electric cars,” Helfman said. “They should be great sellers.”

Schorr said Chrysler CEO and Chairman Robert Nardelli, Vice Chairman Jim Press, Vice Chairman Tom LaSorda and Steven Landry, executive vice president of North American sales, would participate in Tuesday’s program and answer questions from dealers.

“There’s a lot going on inside Chrysler that’s very exciting, and our dealers need to be up to speed on some of the great things that are happening here that will help grow our business going forward,” Schorr said.

A similar presentation is planned for dealers in Canada, Mexico and international locations, he said.
